The owner of a recently shut-down Myrtletown medical marijuana dispensary is in a Pennsylvania prison facing marijuana trafficking charges, according to a Pennsylvania newspaper.

The Humboldt County Collective owner Bill Byron, whose full name is William C. Byron, 42, of Eureka, was charged Friday, after he allegedly shipped a package of marijuana to a home he was staying at in Pennsylvania.

The charges come a day after California Department of Justice agents served warrants at his dispensary. The state DOJ also tipped off Pennsylvania officials to Byron's whereabouts on Thursday.

According to the Reading Eagle, a newspaper located in Berks County in Pennsylvania, Byron was arrested Thursday in Berks County after authorities intercepted a parcel from California that contained 25 pounds of high-grade pot packaged for sale.

Byron was committed to Berks County Prison in lieu of $1 million bail after an arraignment early Friday, when he was charged with marijuana trafficking, conspiracy and related offenses.

Calls to local officials were not returned by deadline.

According to the Reading Eagle, the investigation began Tuesday when local police were alerted by a narcotics interdiction team from the California DOJ that a suspicious package addressed to a fictitious person in Berks County was to be shipped overnight.

The package weighed 39 pounds, and the shipping fee was paid in cash. Investigators opened the package and found 30 heat-sealed bags containing high-grade marijuana. Investigators estimated a combined value of $100,000 to $150,000.

Investigators found Byron at the home of a woman who said Byron was a friend "visiting from California."

"The woman said she had nothing to do with the package and became upset, saying she and Byron have been friends for years and that she couldn't believe he would use her home for marijuana distribution," the paper reported.

The Humboldt County District Attorney's Office, which assisted in the DOJ's actions Thursday, said any new information would be released from the California attorney general's office. The AG's office continues to remain silent on Byron's case. Calls to the office were not returned by Friday afternoon.

Byron's arrest follows another recent Humboldt County marijuana bust. In late March, state DOJ agents arrested an elementary school teacher who allegedly had ties to a large-scale indoor growing operation, capping two days of marijuana-related enforcement activity. Investigators suspected Maple Creek Elementary School teacher John Cromwell, 46, and his partner Elisabeth Nergaard Olsen, 42, were distributing marijuana outside the state. A DOJ spokeswoman couldn't confirm if the cases were related.
